In depth
Verdict
Major Rowan has won three races in his career, all at Southwell, and he's never been placed on Turf though he's obviously improved a great deal since stepping up to this trip. EURATO is another who has made great strides since racing over this trip and followed two all-weather victories with a short-head defeat over two miles at Catterick where he just failed to concede 9lb to Summerlea. He's up another 3lb but may not have finished yet. El Massivo scored over hurdles here last month though is better on ground with plenty of give but Frosty The Snowman has suddenly found some form having scored at Southwell in March and again at Musselburgh last month.
